Alku ADD-ONS™
Focused modules for specific leadership & people bottlenecks
Sometimes you don’t need the full JOURNEY. You need one focused module to strengthen a specific part of your leadership and culture foundation: hiring quality, people leadership, role clarity, or the expectations that help people work together well. Alku ADD-ONS™ are structured modules for specific bottlenecks that often show up as companies grow.
Focused support without hiring in-house
Add-ons are practical, timeboxed modules you can bring in when one part of the leadership or people foundation needs attention.
They are not separate random HR services.
They are focused ways to strengthen the same foundation Alku HR helps companies build through Alku JOURNEY: clearer roles, better decisions, honest conversations, stronger leadership habits, and practical rhythms for how people work together.
You get experienced support exactly where the bottleneck is without the cost or commitment of hiring a senior in-house role before you are ready.
The problem add-ons solve
When leadership and people work is built ad hoc, bottlenecks show up in predictable places.
Hiring becomes risky.
Managers lead inconsistently.
Role expectations stay unclear.
Development conversations get delayed.
People don’t always know what good looks like.
These issues often look separate, but they usually point to the same underlying need: clearer leadership and culture foundations.
Add-ons help you address one bottleneck at a time with clear structure, practical outputs, and a scope that doesn’t explode.
When to choose an add-on
Add-ons are a good fit when:
you have a clear “this is the bottleneck” situation
you want focused support that fits your current stage and priorities
you want to move fast on one topic without turning it into a heavy program
you have already done Alku JOURNEY and want to strengthen one area further
you are not ready for the full JOURNEY yet, but one issue needs attention now
If you’re unsure whether you need an add-on, Alku JOURNEY™, or RELIEF™, we’ll decide in the Intro Call.
How add-ons connect to Alku JOURNEY™
Alku JOURNEY™ is the main path for building leadership and culture fundamentals in the right order.
Add-ons can work in three ways:
As an entry point
When one bottleneck is urgent, such as hiring risk or unclear roles.As a follow-on module
After Alku JOURNEY, when one area needs deeper implementation.As a focused detour
When the broader build sequence still makes sense, but one specific issue needs attention first.
The entry point can vary. The foundation still matters.
Current add-ons
Alku HIRE™
Reduce hiring risk with clear roles, criteria, and decisions
Hiring problems are often culture and leadership clarity problems in disguise.
When criteria are implicit, interviews become opinion-based, and mis-hires get expensive. HIRE helps you define the role, success criteria, interview process, decision logic, and onboarding baseline before you open the search.
Best fit if:
You’re hiring soon and want a repeatable approach instead of gut feel.
What you get:
A role-specific hiring kit, structured interview process, decision logic, onboarding baseline, and reusable templates for future hires.
Alku PERFORM™
A minimum viable people leadership cadence for managers
When expectations and feedback are inconsistent, performance problems surface too late and managers feel drained.
PERFORM builds a practical people leadership baseline by running one full cycle together: training, real-life practice, clinics, and calibration.
Best fit if:
You have managers and want people leadership to become more consistent without launching a heavy performance program.
What you get:
A practical manager cadence for 1:1s, feedback, development check-ins, and performance conversations, plus stronger shared manager capability.
Alku ARCHITECTURE™
A minimum viable job architecture baseline
When roles and levels don’t mean the same thing across the company, expectations stay implicit and titles turn into ongoing debates.
ARCHITECTURE creates a minimum viable role and leveling baseline: clearer role descriptions, a practical role matrix, and stronger comparability.
Best fit if:
You need role clarity and levels to make hiring, development, progression, or pay transparency readiness more consistent.
What you get:
A job architecture baseline you can scale and use in hiring, performance, development, and progression discussions.
Need something else?
The three add-ons above are my current focus areas.
If your bottleneck is related to leadership, culture, hiring, roles, expectations, or people leadership but not listed here, bring it up in the Intro Call.
We’ll decide whether an existing module fits, whether Alku JOURNEY™ is the better path, or whether another starting point makes more sense.
How to start
Start with a 45-minute Intro Call.
We’ll clarify your current bottleneck and decide the most sensible next step: HIRE, PERFORM, ARCHITECTURE, JOURNEY, RELIEF, or something else.
